“Video Furnace drastically increases our ability to offer more channels to faculty, staff and students compared with the old analog cable television system. Plus we have the opportunity to program our own channels, so in the future we  might broadcast student projects, classroom  lectures or even guest speakers. I  think the teaching and learning applications are endless." S. Brad Noblet, Director of Technical Services, Dartmouth College

About Video Furnace

Video Furnace is a leading developer of mission-critical enterprise IP video solutions. The company has developed the only end-to-end solution that brings live and prerecorded video as well as video-on-demand (VOD) to network-connected devices, such as laptop and desktop computers, without requiring the user to install any resident player software or hardware.

Headquartered northwest of Chicago, Video Furnace is led by Howard Weinzimmer, CEO. Its technical team has extensive experience in digital video delivery systems and the development of media, gaming and broadband video solutions.

"Video Furnace has been committed not only to bringing video to the desktops of more than 4,200 users across our campus, but also to evolving the service as our needs have evolved. When we deployed the service in 2002, colleagues on campus, students and faculty we talked to couldn’t believe we were able to provide this technology. Now, our conversations have shifted to discussions of how we would like to see the service evolve. This shift—from affirming that the technology really does work to envisioning what new and exciting things it can do—is a testament to Video Furnace’s technical capabilities and vision for desktop video. In addition, Video Furnace has been able to quickly address any issues or concerns we’ve had. They have an exceptional support team." Dave Carr, Director of Telecommunications and Network Service, Northwestern University
